The car is described as being built in the style of an MG Q-Type race car with custom aluminum bodywork and red leather racing seats. While it has modern upgrades like a five-speed T-5 manual overdrive gearbox and a Volumex supercharger, the seller notes that the speedometer does not work, and mileage is unknown. The Ensign tires show 2017 date codes. Overall, the car seems to be in very good condition with slight wear and some reconditioning needed.
